Looks more fanatasy than medieval. (The towers are too tall to be based on reality). |

I would use it on my Medieval table as it is not all covered in skulls and silly crap. |

Major B – the towers (to top of crenellation, so 'overheight') is approx 8 times the door height, giving a total height of 12-16m. That isn't that tall. It's like trees – put a true to scale 28mm tree on a table and everyone thinks its huge. The Gatehous at Warwick

the towers (to top of crenellation, so 'overheight') is approx 8 times the door height, giving a total height of 12-16m. That isn't that tall. It's not just the height (many medieval structures were far higher than 16m) – it's the height compared to the width of the face or the diameter (in the case of the round one) that's the problem. The Gatehouse at Warwick - is not a single tower, but a complex of towers. The main gatehouse structure (the one with the clock face) is a square structure with two turrets on the outer face. It is about twice as high as it is broad. The model towers shown above are about 4 times as high as they are broad – far too tall and spindly for standalone medieval structures. |
